Plague.—19 cases with 19 deaths were recorded. There were 10 cases with 9 deaths in 1916.
Diseases of Central Nervous System.—293 such cases were admitted but it is of interest to note the extremely rare occurrence of locomotor ataxia and general paralysis of the insane. It is generally admitted that these diseases are the result of syphilis but here we have the curious fact that syphilis is a common disease among our patients and does attack the central nervous system but not as either of the above diseases except in a fractional percentage of cases.
